Holmium laser – the star of lithotripsy

       In the past, due to the limitation of medical technology, for patients with poor results of medication and extracorporeal shock wave treatment, open surgery was generally used to remove stones, which brought greater trauma to patients.  Nowadays, more than 90% of urinary tract stones can be treated by Holmium laser, the most advanced technology in the world, instead of the traditional open surgery.  The stones can be removed from the bed on the first day after surgery, and the stones are completely cleared after 3 days of examination. There is no surgical incision, the hospital stay is much shorter, the cost is lower than that of open surgery, and the time for stone removal is significantly shorter due to the finer, powder-like particles of Holmium laser lithotripsy.  Patients thus receive the greatest benefit. The Department of Urology of our hospital has a wide range of treatments including Chinese herbal stone removal, Chinese herbal stone recurrence prevention, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, holmium laser lithotripsy under lumpectomy, and surgical treatment, etc. We are in the leading position in terms of “stone removal rate” and can provide a full range of “one-stop” services for patients with urinary stones. “The Holmium laser is the leading treatment for urinary stones.
